That's a shame because there's the odd pic I don't like which I'd like to get rid of to free some space.

don't do the 13 second trick, do this...
as posted by Osmium ages ago..
This is not a word-by-word translation of the german version but I think it covers it all.
1. Do a master reset on the phone.
2. When the phone restarts make sure the automatic keylock never activate!! If this happens you'll have to start all over again. (I don't know why) To ensure it doesn't happen deactivate automatic keylock.
3. Deactivate background picture, screensaver and the welcome message.
4. Create a simple theme without any pictures, only colors and activate it. I used the default settings in Theme Creator Pro3G (or whatever the name is).
5. Go to the Games menu and select a game. Click More and go to the memorystatus screen.
6. Now you'll have to fill up the phones memory completly. I created a large file in notepad, named it test1.thm and transfered it to the phone. Then I renamed it, adjusted the size and send it again and again and again...
...until it said Free memory: 0kb. Then I trasfered a 1 byte file a couple of times just to be sure it was completely full.
7. Now open the My pictures folder. The phone will try to create thumbnails of the pre-stored pictures but will fail since there's no memory left. Just click OK to the error message and then the backbutton. Do this until all pictures has an 'X' as a thumbnail exept the flower, clock and the vodafone animation. These will have a hourglass instead.
8. Go to the phonebook. Create a contact named 'X' and try to assign a picture to it. I started with the animation.
When you select a picture the phone will say something like 'Unable to open picture. Delete?'. Just choose Yes and the picture is gone.
Then select the next picture and so on.
9. When all the pictures are gone, reactivate the background, screensaver, auto keylock and set the welcome message to standard. Restart the phone and your done.
Hope it helped all those who doesn't understand german or babelfish-english.

Wonder if this will work for the ringtones too. If you try and assign a custom tune to a contact. |

It works, even with ringtones!
I use Firmware version R1L013, Vodafone branded. I also tried it on a T-mobile branded T610 and that also works.

P.S.
Read my T610 FAQ for more info.

if there isn't any memory left it won't be able to load the ringtone either.

Doesn't work on my phone (R1A) because even with 0KB free memory, it still finds enough space to make previews of my images.  It looks like I'm doomed to keep Orange's cheese monster pics. |
